They sit ever vigilant, high on rocky cliffs, tall and reaching on the shores of our
seas, and lonely on remote islands. They are fascinating to look at during the day, and
awesome to gaze at during the night - with their ever-guiding beacon showing a safe
course. For centuries they have guided mariners home safely, while they themselves have
battled the elements.
In the pages that follow, you will have the opportunity to see what I have seen. These
pages include pictures of the lighthouses I have visited, as well as some background
information regarding the lights. But don't settle for just looking at these pictures. See
for yourself these magnificent structures that stand to protect against the dangers man
has faced upon the waters.
I am drawn to lighthouses by many things: their beauty; their history; and their
uniqueness - as no two are the same. If you have never seen a lighthouse in person, take
the time to visit just one, and you will see what I mean. I hope you enjoy this site.
Please sign my guest
book, and let me know what you think.
The following 3-minute video was made by French students to illustrate the attraction of insects to light.
It deserves a wider audience among our lighthouse lovers community!
